The husband of Shaima Bigum, a Briton nicknamed "a dashing bride" who joined the Islamic state organization, expressed his desire to live with her in his native Netherlands, in an interview with the BBC in Syria.
Yajo Ridik, who is in a prison for Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria, said he married Bigum after she arrived in the state-controlled area when he was 23, at the age of 15.
Begum, now 19, who lives in a refugee camp in Syria, said she wanted to return to Britain but had been stripped of her British citizenship because the government considered her a security threat.
Riedek, who is now 27, is anti-state, although he has fought in the past, said he wants to return to the Netherlands with his wife and child.
Asked if he thought marrying a girl of such age was acceptable, he was quoted as saying: "When my friend came and said that there was a girl interested in marriage, I did not pay much attention because of her age, but I accepted the offer in any Case ".
"We sat down and looked in a good state of mind, it was her decision to ask for a partner," he said.
Issue and controversy
The British Broadcasting Corporation quoted a conversation with the husband Ridik that he fought in the ranks of the state organization, but handed himself to a group of Syrian fighters, and detained in a Kurdish detention center in northeastern Syria.
The fate of Begum, found at a detention camp in Syria last month, highlights the moral, legal and security dilemma faced by governments when dealing with families of fighters who have vowed to destroy the West.
It is noteworthy that the case of Shaima sparked controversy in Britain between those who refused to return and considered a victim to be assisted and take humanitarian action against those who want to return from the jihadists, and felt that return and others may avoid Britain's new wave of bombings adopted by the organization.
